Abstract

As part of continued efforts to explore the Ephemeroptera fauna of the streams or rivers of Indian Himalaya, Heptagenia (H.) quadripunctata Kluge, 1989 is newly recorded based on the fresh materials collected from the North Western Himalaya, India. The redescription of this species with morphological characters of larvae based on freshly collected specimens and earlier descriptions is appended. The distribution map of the species localities is also provided.
